BIG Improvement in signal strength [Posted on 2008-04-15]
Very briefly, my apartment has metal studs in the walls. My laptop (Intel NIC) is two rooms from the router (D-Link) but the signal goes through the two walls at 90 degrees and I get 5 out of 5 on the meter. The problem had been my second desktop (D-Link NIC) is diagnally on the opposite side of the apartment and the signal goes through 4 walls at various extreme angles. I averaged 1 of 5 bars in that room. I installed this router and immediately got 4 out of 5 bars. WOW! Now why only 4 stars-the configuration wasn't quite as friendly at the D-Link's and my first attempt at TrendNet's tech support wasn't good. After 20 minutes on the phone, the tech (with an attitude) gave up and told me to dwnld some firmware & call back (more wait time). When I got to the firmware page, there were several options that he didn't warn me about. So I dwnld'd all of them. I called back & y'know when you get a tech that has it all together-this was that guy. First he told me to trash the firmware updates. Then in ten minutes he had me up and running. Now me happy.
Unreliable [Posted on 2008-05-15]
Worked great for about a month, then started cutting out whenever I streamed video from the Internet. I would have to unplug it to reset 4 or 5 times a week. Now it doesn't work at all. I've had it for 10 months.
Trendnet TEW-631BRP [Posted on 2008-05-18]
This wireless router works well, and was easy to configure. Provides gaming and N broadband support. The gaming part works well for me, but all my wireless devices only use G so I can't test that. It was way cheaper than the others. I bought it as a backup for my Linksys, but now my Linksys is the backup.
Great for the money! [Posted on 2008-07-21]
It works as advertised. I get great reception, there are a ton of settings and features to keep you busy if you are in to that kind of thing. I picked it up for less than half of the current price, so at the current price I would probably go with a bigger name manufacturer.
Trendnet Tew-631 [Posted on 2008-08-15]
I've read the reviews on all the current wireless routers and decided to go with the 631 since newer versions really did not offer much more of an upgrade other than looks. It comes with software cd (ignor it) and load it manually. Use the 192.168.10.1 browser address to use the router wizard. I disabled the WISH feature in advanced settings (due to drops)and otherwise had a fast install. Works well, Zero drops .Last router was Belkin pre-N ,which lasted two years than had constant drops than died. This has even better range and no problems with plaster walls and heavy electrical interferance from multipal electric wirings(house built in 1925).so with this in mind,ignor the ugly body and buy it , non of the others are perfect eather. Just don't use the cd wizard and you'll be fine.
